Description:
This beautiful purple-red wine offers aromas and flavors of dense brooding blackberries, black plums and black sweet cherries. A healthy dollop of sweet vanilla bean and graham cracker are nice additions compliments of the oak barrel aging. The wine is a perfect match with red meats to include beef, lamb and duck. Any pasta is good to go as well. The potential is there to age a solid 8 to 12 years. 2006 Riverside International Wine Competition-Bronze. 2006 Vineyard Management-Silver 2006 LA County Fair-Bronze

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
